A kind of technique utilizing battery-level lithium carbonate sinker disposing mother liquor to prepare pure Lithium Carbonate
Technical field
The present invention relates to the recovery technology field of sinker mother solution, particularly relate to one and utilize battery-level lithium carbonate sinker mother solution
The technique reclaiming preparation pure Lithium Carbonate.
Background technology
Lithium carbonate is the basic material of lithium salts industry, has multiple industrial use, is possible not only to directly use, it is also possible to as
Raw material prepares the high lithium salts of various added value and compound thereof, is widely used in battery industry, ceramics, glass industry, aluminum work
The fields such as industry, lubricant, cold-producing medium, nuclear industry and photovoltaic industry.Wherein, battery industry mainly uses battery-level lithium carbonate next life
Produce the positive electrode of the lithium ion batteries such as cobalt acid lithium, LiFePO4, lithium nickelate, LiMn2O4, ternary material, nickle cobalt lithium manganate.
The preparation of battery-level lithium carbonate is typically with Li2SO4For raw material, use soda sinker, after sinker, Li+With Li2CO3's
Mode precipitates, but still suffers from a small amount of Li in solution+, this solution is referred to as sinker mother solution.Li in sinker mother solution+Recycling
It it is one of the key issue of lithium carbonate preparation technology.At present, the recovery and treatment method of sinker mother solution is usually: in sinker mother solution
Being initially charged sulphuric acid to neutralize, re-evaporation concentrates, and isolates sodium sulfate, then mother solution returns sinker system;Sink owing to mother solution returns
Lithium system can cause the accumulation of impurity, therefore, the Li in sinker mother solution+Finally it is produced out with the form of technical grade lithium carbonate
Coming, pure Lithium Carbonate to be obtained needs to purify refined further for technical grade lithium carbonate, first prepares technical grade lithium carbonate, then from
The technological process that technical grade lithium carbonate prepares pure Lithium Carbonate is complicated, relatively costly.Along with aluminium lithium alloy, lithium battery, nuclear fusion
Deng high speed development and a series of policy about development new-energy automobile of country's appearance of high-technology field, prepare high-end carbon
Acid lithium meets the growing market demand and is particularly important, and utilizes battery-level lithium carbonate sinker disposing mother liquor as one
The technical meaning of preparation pure Lithium Carbonate is the most great.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the invention to, overcome prior art to be worth not only with the sinker mother solution preparation of battery-level lithium carbonate
The technological deficiency of high technical grade lithium carbonate, it is provided that one utilizes battery-level lithium carbonate sinker disposing mother liquor to prepare pure Lithium Carbonate
Technique.
For solving above-mentioned technical problem, the technical scheme is that offer one utilizes battery-level lithium carbonate sinker female
Liquid reclaims the technique of preparation pure Lithium Carbonate, and described process program is carried out as follows:
S101: acidifying: add sulphuric acid in sinker mother solution, regulate PH=2-5, be subsequently adding liquid caustic soda or solid caustic soda, regulate PH=
7-8;
Adding sulphuric acid in sinker mother solution and drive away carbon dioxide, when adding sulphuric acid, control pH value is between 2-5, meeting when pH value is too low
Wasting more sulphuric acid and liquid caustic soda or Caustic soda, the too high meeting of pH value makes to react insufficient, causes lithium yield low.
S102: fluorination sinker: add sodium fluoride in the solution in described step S101 and carry out sinker reaction, the most liquid-solid
Separate, obtain lithium fluoride slag;
[w1] utilizes the strong oxidizing property of fluorine element and the strong reducing property of elemental lithium, generates lithium fluoride precipitation, and its reaction equation is:
F-+Li+=LiF
S103: causticization of sizing mixing: add pure water in described lithium fluoride slag and size mixing, add calcium hydroxide after sizing mixing and carry out causticization
Reaction, then filters, and obtains lithium hydroxide solution;
Preparation pure Lithium Carbonate first has to obtain Lithium hydrate or lithium bicarbonate, herein, lithium fluoride in water with calcium hydroxide
React, generate lithium hydroxide solution and calcium fluoride precipitate, lithium hydroxide solution after filtration, can be obtained.
S104: hydrogenation: be passed through carbon dioxide in described lithium hydroxide solution and carry out hydrogenation, obtain bicarbonate
Lithium solution;
The dissolubility of lithium bicarbonate is relatively big, and the impurity in Lithium hydrate is (such as Ca2+、Mg2+Deng) be not hydrogenated, with insoluble carbonic acid
Presented in salt, can be filtered to remove, improve the purity of lithium carbonate.
S105: Thermal desorption lithium: by described lithia water heat resolve, separates out pure Lithium Carbonate.
Lithium bicarbonate heat resolve, its decomposition reaction formula is as follows:
2LiHCO3→Li2CO3+H2O+CO2
Preferably, described step S102 adds the amount of sodium fluoride than Li in the solution of described step S101+Content excess 5%-
8%。
Add the sodium fluoride of excess, to ensure that lithium ion, all presented in lithium fluoride precipitates, improves the response rate of lithium,
But excess can cause the wasting of resources too much, it is advisable with excess 5%-8%.
Preferably, the pure water added in described step S103 is 20-30:1 with the liquid-solid ratio of lithium fluoride slag.
In lithium fluoride slag, add the water of excess, to ensure that lithium fluoride slag and calcium salt can fully react, make lithium fluoride slag
In lithium ion fully dissolve, improve lithium the response rate.The water added the most then affects the response rate of lithium, the most then money of wasting water
Source, is advisable with liquid-solid ratio for 20-30:1.
Preferably, in described step S105, heating-up temperature is more than 90 DEG C.
Decompose after lithia water heating, when heating-up temperature is more than 90 DEG C, LiHCO3Decomposition rate sharply increases,
Therefore, general pyrolysis temperature controls more than 90 DEG C, with the time of saving.
The technical scheme that embodiments of the invention provide can include following beneficial effect:
